Hello Google AI Studio Team,

I am experiencing a persistent quota issue in Google AI Studio Build.

Error:  
“Quota exceeded. Please try again later.”

My Gemini API project is on the Free tier.

The Rate Limit page shows:

- Antigravity RPM: 0 / 60
- Antigravity TPM: 0 / 100K
- RPD limit: 100/day

The Gemini API Usage page shows only about 9 API requests with a 100% success rate, and the API Errors section shows “No data available.”

The issue originally occurred in my Universal Multi-Broker Auto-Trading Bot project. A Gemini 3.8 Flash Build run failed with “Quota exceeded” after approximately 557 seconds.

To determine whether my application was causing the problem, I created a completely new and very simple AI Studio Build app named “Hello”.

In this new app, the Build agent edited only a few files:

- metadata.json
- index.html
- src/App.tsx

The file edits completed successfully, but the Build run again ended with:  
“Quota exceeded. Please try again later.”

This new app failed after approximately 542 seconds.

Therefore, the issue is reproducible in a brand-new simple Build app and does not appear to be specific to my original trading application.

Could you please investigate whether there is a separate AI Studio Build / agent generation quota, execution quota, or account/project entitlement issue that is not visible on the Gemini API Rate Limit page?

I can provide the App ID, Project ID, exact timestamps, and additional screenshots privately if required.

Thank you.

Hello @Prashant_Kumar1 ,

Please try the below steps:

- To access higher rate limits once daily baseline allowances are reached in [AI Studio Build mode](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/aistudio-build-mode), link a paid Gemini API key from a Cloud Billing-enabled project in the Build chat settings Usage section ([Google AI Studio billing FAQ](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/billing#is-AI-Studio-free), [Google AI plans](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/google-ai-plans#gemini-api-usage)).
- For long-running Build tasks, start a new chat in your existing app instead of retrying in the same conversation thread (your existing application files remain intact).
- If the issue persists after linking a paid API key, please share your Applet ID, Project ID, and a screenshot of the Build chat settings Usage section via direct message.
